GJUNLER ABDULA & PARNE GADJE

Parne Gadje have established themselves as one of the most inventive and exciting folk groups on the scene within the space of less than 3 years. The uncanny Balkan improvisations on their debut album “Isi li vilo Akate” (2003) and the blistering Rroma/Rebetiko tinged performances on the follow-up “O Manus” (2004) have quite simply placed the group in a class of their own. Add their virtuosity, style blending, bizarre self-built musical contraptions and astounding live reputation and you could be excused for assuming you knew enough about them. But the Bizoagor album will force you to check again. This collaboration with Rroma poet and singer Gjunler Abdula is a radical and unexpected departure into the obscure terrain of spoken word music that not only confirms the groups depth of musical sensibility: it unquestionably establishes group founder and bandoneon player Marc Constandse as an extraordinary composing talent.

Bizoagor

The Bizoagor project is the harvest of a friendship between Constandse and Abdula that began in the late 90’s. Abdula had been a published playwright and journalist, and the first ever Rroma citizen elected to the Skopje City Council in Macedonia before fleeing the Balkan wars to arrive in Holland with his family in 1993. The two friends met not long after and became fascinated in each others work. Marc began to record Gjunler performing his poetry, composing and layering textures around it while composing themes to support its imagery and intention. It was a painstaking process involving skilful articulation of the natural rhythm of the words with the right choice of instrumentation and melody. Much of the music on the album was initially played and recorded by Marc but the rest of the “Gadjes” were eventually called in and their role became increasingly pivotal as the project evolved.
